Get Caught Reading Burbank

Get Caught Reading Month Contest

. . . from Veronica Ardolino

On her way to the Burbank Library with her card attached to her wrist, Grace Ardolino stopped at a nearby lake to read her favorite book about fish. Much to her surprise, Grace was "caught reading" by a young fishing enthusiast, her sister, Rose Ardolino!

Get Caught Reading is a nationwide campaign to remind people of all ages how much fun it is to read. May is Get Caught Reading month, but the campaign is promoted throughout the year. Get Caught Reading is supported by the Association of American Publishers (AAP). Launched in 1999, "Get Caught Reading" is the brainchild of former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder, President and Chief Executive Officer of AAP, the industry association representing book publishers. She saw the opportunity to spread the word about the joys of reading through an industry-supported literacy campaign.
